Legal & Ethical ScenariosSelect two of the scenarios provided below. Analyze the facts in the scenarios and develop appropriate arguments/resolutions and recommendations. Support your responses with appropriate cases, laws and other relevant examples by using at least one scholarly source from the SUO Library in addition to your textbook for each scenario. Do not copy the scenarios into the paper. Cite your sources in APA format on a separate page. Submit the paper to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.Scenario I: Employment LawCarole Smith, an Apostolic Christian, worked as sales associate at Nickels Department Store. One afternoon, during a break, Smith participated in a conversation about God, homosexuality, and same-sex marriages. The next day, an employee told the manager that Smith made inappropriate comments about gays to Casey, a Nickels employee who was gay. Over the next five weeks, Nickels investigated the incident by interviewing and obtaining statements from employees who were present during the conversation. In his statement, Casey reported that Smith pointed her finger and said that God does not accept gays, that gays should not be allowed to marry or have children, and that they will burn in hell. Three employees confirmed Smith’s statements.Nickels terminated Smith’s employment after concluding she had engaged in serious harassment in violation of its Discrimination and Harassment Prevention Policy. This policy, of which Smith was aware, prohibits employees from engaging in conduct that could reasonably be interpreted as harassment based on an individual’s status, including sexual orientation, and provides that employees who violate the policy will receive “coaching and/or other discipline, up to and including termination.” Nickels has “zero tolerance” for harassment “regardless of whether such conduct rises to the level of unlawful discrimination or harassment” and treats serious harassment as gross misconduct and grounds for immediate termination.Smith filed suit, alleging her termination for stating that gays should not marry and will go to hell—a belief that she maintains is an aspect of her Apostolic Christian faith—constitutes unlawful discrimination under Title VII. Is she correct?If Smith posted the same information on her Facebook page but omitted references to the specific employee, would the outcome of her lawsuit for wrongful termination change?Scenario II: Professional TortsMedical malpractice is negligence committed by a physician or a pharmacist. Present an actual case of medical malpractice filed in your state court system or in the federal district court in your state. You must read the actual case and not an article about the case. You may find the case by first reading the article by researching the South University Online Library or a scholarly source on the Internet, but you will need to read and cite the actual case to receive credit.Accordingly, respond to the following questions:Summarize the facts of the case.Provide your state’s law or regulation relating to malpractice by physicians or pharmacists.Discuss the outcome of the case.Explain whether you agree with the verdict. Why or why not?Scenario III: Agency, Employment and TortsBrenda Byars, on her way to a business meeting and in a hurry, stopped at a Radio Shack to pick up a new car charger for her smartphone. There was a long line at one of the checkout counters, but a cashier, Phyllis Richmond, opened another counter and began loading the cash drawer. Byars told Richmond that she was in a hurry and asked Richmond to work faster. Instead, Richmond slowed her pace. At this point, Byars hit Richmond.It is not clear whether Byars hit Richmond intentionally or, in an attempt to retrieve the car charger, hit her inadvertently. In response, Richmond grabbed Byars by the hair and hit her repeatedly in the back of the head, while Byars screamed for help. Management personnel separated the two women and questioned them about the incident. Richmond was terminated immediately for violating the store’s no-fighting policy. Byars sued Radio Shack, alleging that the store was liable for the tort (assault and battery) committed by its employee.Under what doctrine might Radio Shack be held liable for the tort committed by Richmond?What is the key factor in determining whether Radio Shack is liable under this doctrine?How is Radio Shack’s potential liability affected by whether Richmond’s behavior constituted an intentional tort or a tort of negligence?Suppose that when Richmond applied for the job at Radio Shack, she disclosed in her application that she had previously been convicted of felony assault and battery. Nevertheless, Radio Shack hired Richmond as a cashier. How might this fact affect Radio Shack’s liability for Richmond’s actions?Submissions Details:Submit your document to the Submissions Areaby the due date assigned.

Submit the paper to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.Scenario I: Courts and Alternative Dispute ResolutionAlana Mendes suffered from Alzheimer’s, and was admitted to the Bay Pines Rehabilitation Center. Because of her mental condition, Alana’s daughter, Juanita, completed the admissions paperwork and signed the admissions agreement. The admissions documents included a clause that required parties to submit any disputes for arbitration. When Alana was released from the center four months later, she sued for negligent treatment and malpractice during her stay. Bay Pines moved to require arbitration.This is a claim of negligent care, not a breach of a commercial contract. Is it ethical for medical facilities to impose mandatory arbitration? Is there really any bargaining over such terms?Should a person with limited mental capacity be held to the arbitration clause agreed to by the next-of-kin who signed on behalf of that person?Scenario II: Due Process and ADRIn 2016, a report found extremely high rates of obvious plagiarism in the theses of graduate students in the MBA program in the College of Business at Western State University. Two full-time faculty members and three adjuncts were identified for ignoring their ethical responsibilities and contributing to negligence toward issues of academic misconduct. Assistant Professor Mark Day was one of the five professors identified in the report. The findings were published during a press conference in May 2016. The dean of the College of Business, Derrick Dawson, removed Day’s responsibilities for advising graduate students and scheduled him for undergraduate courses for the next semester. Day filed suit in a federal district court against Dawson, the university, and others for violating his due process rights by publicizing accusations about his role in plagiarism without providing him with a meaningful opportunity to clear his name in public.What does due process require in these circumstances?Would the outcome be different if a mandatory arbitration clause was provided in Day’s contract and the university filed to dismiss the suit to require arbitration?Scenario III: Regulatory Agencies and EthicsJessica Smith is the vice president of new drug development at Generic Phama, Inc, a pharmaceutical research company in Boston, Massachusetts. One year ago, she filed an application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to obtain approval of a new drug for treating cancer. Smith met Joe Spencer at a convention three months ago and invited him to her room at the hotel. The two parted ways. Spencer worked as the director for approval of new drugs at the FDA. Two weeks later, Spencer wrote Smith a letter on FDA letterhead stating, “It was nice to see your name cross my desk on our company’s application for approval of the new cancer drug. I’d really like to see you again. Why don’t you come visit me in Washington this weekend?”Smith considered requesting that the petition be referred to another director at the FDA. However, she is concerned that the transfer would delay the approval process for at least a year. Smith’s chief scientist advised her that a key competitor plans to introduce a similar drug on the market in three months.Are there any legal or ethical barriers to relationships between corporate officers and members of administrative agencies involved in reviewing or regulating corporate activity?What should she do?What would you advise her to do if you were head of human resources or legal counsel for Generic Pharma, Inc.Name your document SU_MBA5005_W1_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.Submission Details:Support your responses with examples.Cite any sources in APA format.Submit your document to the Submissions Areaby the due date assigned.

Authorities in every academic discipline share certain expectations and norms for publication in their scholarly journals and texts. While specialists in some disciplines uphold a strict standard of academic writing, other experts allow a more flexible rhetorical style. In general, however, academic writers strive to influence their discourse communities by following the expected norms.While communities of scholars strive to ensure quality in their disciplines, they also recognize a certain level of subjectivity in determining the quality of academic writing. Analyzing each author’s quality of evidence, awareness of the target audience, and potential for personal bias will help you determine the appropriateness of books, articles, and other documents that you read. For this Assignment, you evaluate a scholarly article. As you review articles, consider the ways that the different backgrounds of the authors and their readers may affect both the creation and the interpretation of the writing.To prepare:Select an article from either the Walden Library or the Internet related to public policy and administration and your field of interest.Consider how different audiences could interpret the selected article. Pay particular attention to the quality of evidence that the author presents.By Day 7Submit a 1-page evaluation of the article you selected. In your evaluation, be sure to do the following:Evaluate the quality of evidence, appropriateness of the content and writing style for the target audience, and the author’s potential bias. Then, explain whether the article meets professional standards for scholarly writing and why.Explain how various audiences might perceive the author’s intent and message.Explain how you might revise the article to make it more appropriate for an international audience.

Use correct APA format. Sources need to be in correct APA 6th edition format with web links included. Needs to be 500-700 words in length The role of the media is critical in a democracy, and the criminal justice system invariably intersects with the American media constantly and, at times, at cross-purposes. An astute criminal justice leader must understand the power of the media to shape events which, at times, provide a slant to the events that makes the job of the leader challenging and difficult. The Ferguson, MO incident involving the shooting death of Michael Brown by a police officer is a case in point. Many of the initial accounts that made the public upset and exacerbated the situation were later found to be untrue. For instance, it was found that Mr. Brown was not shot in his back, while running away from the officer, with his hands up in the air. A perceptive leader reaches out to the media and attempts to push his or her account of the event in the public sphere to display transparency as well as making a proactive push to influence the post-event debate. Select two contrasting media accounts of the Michael Brown shooting. One of the articles must be critical of the police and of officer Darren Wilson and supportive of Michael Brown. The other article must be an article defending the police and officer Wilson and be critical of Michael Brown. Assume you are the police chief of Ferguson. Provide a summary of the article critical of the police. Comment on how you will present your organization’s viewpoint to the media to counteract the critical image created by the media. Compare your talking points with the article defending the police and officer Wilson. Would you use the same or similar points as used in the article? Why or why not? Conversely, you can take the opposite position of an executive from a civil rights organization. As someone interested in police reform and distrusting of the police, provide a summary of the article defending the police. What facts or counterarguments will you present during a press-briefing, criticizing the points in the article defending the police and the officer?
